My father-in-law is an independent tool distributor and he used to work as a mechanic, so he has a LOT of tools! So, for his birthday, I made him this toolbox card:
He LOVED it!! I think he even said he was going to put it on his desk. Now, that's a compliment!
Supplies:
Stamps: Taylored Expressions stamp set that coordinates with the tool dies
Dies: Taylored Expressions "Little Bits-Tools" and "Pegboard"
Cuttlebug embossing folder
